Now that FE Heroes is a thing, FE4 has gotten a little more love, and by extension almost every major character in the game has a new name. I'm going to post them here for reference, as well as my thoughts. Overall there have been some pretty significant changes, including one major reversion from a previous localization. So, without further ado, here's the list. The original/fan names are in bold. Barring one exception, I didn't include any character that had their name previously localized in Awakening.

Aida - Aida. No change here.

Alec - Alec. So far so good.

Amid - Amid. Hat trick!

Andre/Andrei/Andorey - Andrey. Not bad.

Mahnya - Annand. Wait, what? I know NOA has done a lot of renaming characters outright as far as the old games are concerned, but I'm not really sure what to think about this one...

Arione/Areone/Arion - Arion. Good.

Asaello - Asaello. No change.

Azel - Azelle? Looks like a girl's name. Maybe they saw Azel's sprite and thought he was Arvis's little sister or something?

Beowolf/Beowulf - Beowolf. I can live with this.

Blume/Bloom - Bloom. I preferred Blume, but I can live with it. Here's hoping the rest of the Freeges fare as well.

Brian/Burian - Brian. Good.

Briggid - Brigid. Also good.

Byron/Vylon - Byron. I was afraid he'd be one of the ones to be renamed outright, so this was a relief.

Major bump, but a necessary one. I just found out that Freege is apparently Friege now. I guess that's not much of a change, but I'm a little sad. I'm finally going to have to change my username after all these years.

Still, it could have been much, MUCH worse. At least they left Reptor alone.

Eh, I used to be afraid of not finding love. Then I just resigned myself to loneliness and started lusting after much older men.
